* CreepyAwesome: Mabuse is a revolting crime lord and possible spirit on a mission to inflict as much suffering as possible but he's played to such hammy perfection one can't help but have fun watching him.
* LoveToHate: The spirits of Mabuse's victims piling on him and driving him to insanity is a wonderfully cathartic moment but it works in to the completion of his villainous tenure following the build up of his schemes and wicked manipulations.

* MagnificentBastard: The ruthless, wicked Dr. Mabuse is a brilliant criminal and MasterOfDisguise who manipulates all around him into performing crimes while he benefits. Mabuse also hypnotizes others into crimes, or even losing at poker, one of his first crimes being to short the stock market after causing a panic. When a prosecutor locks onto him, Mabuse manipulates his own minions to stymie the investigation and defeat his nemesis while also leading a romantic rival of his into committing suicide. Even after his defeat, Mabuse's writings and testaments live on, along with [[spoiler: possibly his very spirit]] to create a new Dr. Mabuse and continue his criminal activities.

* CompleteMonster: [[DiabolicalMastermind Dr. Mabuse]] himself is a ruthless master criminal. when the local prosecutor gets too close to him, Mabuse tries to have him killed, and cares little when his lover and right-hand woman Carozza is captured. Playing on her feelings for him, Mabuse has her kill herself and even has the prosecutor's office bombed, having the loyal subordinate who did so [[BadBoss shot]] as [[HeKnowsTooMuch not to betray]] any of the doctor's secrets. Mabuse frequently eliminates those in his path, and when he takes a shine to a countess, he locks her up and manipulates her husband into suicide, with no care for the misery he leaves in his wake as he builds up his great empire of crime.
